1993 wrx loss of power

Hey my names matt,

Today i purchased a subaru wrx 1993
the car is completely standard, has no mods.
Not even a boost gauge

Now the car runs fine during normal driving and light acceleration
but when i accelerate over 3500rpm-4000rpm and i feel boost coming on
it completely looses power.(feels like the engine dies but it doesnt) the rpms drop right down to 0
then shoot right back up.
It doesnt do this every time, if i accelerate gradually it is usually fine but if i ever try accelerate more then say quarter of the pedal being down, it just cuts out.

this is my first subaru so really have no idea where to start.
any suggestions would be great
